There's Good News for the WearyCall it burnout, a spiritual breakdown, or a personal crisis, the toll of Bill Tell's decades of successful ministry finally caught up with him. Incapacitated and depressed, he found that the road to recovery began at the cross. To his delight, healing opened new freedoms as he embraced the gospel in new ways.Lay It Down: Living in the Freedom of the Gospel is a bold declaration of the overwhelming grace of God. More than merely saving us in our sin, by grace God delivers us from it, making us new creations and treating us accordingly--no matter what. For a generation of Christians who have learned a gospel of performance and striving, Lay It Down offers the good news of the grace that is already ours in Christ.

Caregiver, are you overwhelmed? Do you secretly (or not so secretly) have bouts of despair, bitterness, and even hopelessness?As a caregiver, you run the risk of disappearing. Your time goes overwhelmingly to the needs of your loved one. Relationships get strained, and challenges and anxieties are difficult to articulate. It's easier to just keep your head down and do what must be done.What's more, you probably didn't sign up for this role or train for it. And yet here you are, reliving the trauma that got you here, providing support you didn't know you had in you to give, struggling with fatigue, making critical, life-altering decisions, and yearning for the community you had that has changed or disappeared.As a caregiver, do you ever wonder: Where did everybody go?Why can't I do a better job? Am I a complete failure?How can I keep up this level of care without exhausting myself?Rich in stories, threaded with humor, and unflinchingly real, We're Stronger than We Look is a safe place for you to process the life you've been given, to accept that it's okay not to have it all together, and to be inspired about your caregiving role--even while recognizing the need to take care of yourself as well.

Are you lonely? Do you struggle to find the real friends you long for? Here is your invitation to build lasting friendship through meaningful and intentional practices that anyone can do.The older we get, the less we find ourselves spending time in the company of good friends.

Together Is a Beautiful Place offers practical habits that are sustainable, deep, and valuable.You willidentify what makes a godly, lasting friendship;tackle lies and false expectations about what it takes to build lasting friendship; andlearn to tackle the barriers to friendship and invite healthy friendship rhythms.You will find that it is possible to grow healthy friendships, starting now.

"Do you want to see someone totally fulfilled?"The question made news anchor Dianne Derby stop in her tracks. Sitting across from her was Jim Downing, a Christian missionary and a veteran who had served as a commander in the US Navy. At the time, he was the second-oldest survivor of the attack on Pearl Harbor--a fascinating man with an incredible story. The answer to Jim's question about ultimate fulfillment was too tempting to pass up. Almost every Tuesday for the next five years, Dianne met with Jim, soaking in his straightforward wisdom and gentle encouragement and leaning on him during some of the most difficult and most beautiful moments of her life. Along the way, she began to learn the rhythms and choices of a remarkable man--and the simple faith that guided his steps.The invitation in Two Hundred Tuesdays is to walk that path with Dianne and Jim--imperfectly and ever forward. And maybe, just maybe, to find true fulfillment along the way.

Would you like to grow in life-giving ways as you age? Do you have the courage to let go of former ways of thinking to receive God's love and life in new ways?As we age, we experience the loss of physical stamina, independence, and career fulfillment. Yet within each of these losses is a holy invitation to grow. God calls us to let go of our need for accomplishment and embrace the gift of fruitfulness so that we might be transformed in this final season of our lives. In Aging Faithfully, spiritual director Alice Fryling explores how to navigate the journey of retirement, lifestyle changes, and new limitations. In this season of life, we are invited to hold both grief and hope, to acknowledge ways of thinking that no longer represent who we are, and to receive peace in the midst of our fears.We all age differently, and God calls each of us to new spiritual birth as we mature. When we embrace the aging process, we grow closer to God and experience his grace as he renews us from within. Whether you are approaching the beginning, middle, or end of your senior years, you are invited. Come and be transformed.Aging Faithfully includes questions for group discussion and suggestions for personal meditation.

"Look around and you'll see the fields are ripe for harvest." Jesus said this in Samaria, a community on the margins of society. In Embracing the New Samaria, Alejandro Mandes points us to the mission field in our midst, left untended when the church fails to reach out to ethnic-minority and marginalized communities. When we commit ourselves to the Great Commission (to make disciples) and the Great Commandment (to love our neighbor), we move toward a Great Community in which God is glorified and all people flourish. Read this book and you'll see a future you'll want to be a part of.

In most English translations, the Psalms sound smooth and polished. Elizabethan rhythms and style dominate. As literature, they are beyond compare. But as prayers--expressions of anger, praise, and lament toward God--a vital feature of them is often overlooked. "Prayer is elemental, not advanced, language," writes biblical languages scholar Eugene H. Peterson. "It is the means by which our language becomes honest, true, and personal. In the original Hebrew, the Psalms are not genteel--they're earthy and rough. They are not the prayers of nice people, couched in cultured language. But they have an immense range of gut-level honesty and passion that provides them with terrific energy." Peterson brings these ancient prayers to life for modern readers by translating the rhythm and idiom of the original Hebrew into American English, all while maintaining the song-like meter and lyrical quality of your favorite translations. If this is your introduction to the Psalms, you will understand them instantly. And if you are a longtime student of the Word of God, you're invited to read the Psalms again--for the very first time.
